This is Speedy. He'd give a slot car a run for his pink slip. 

And this is Sparky. I couldn't run him around solvents or paints or anything that could be used as tinder. And in a tunnel, he was better than an LED strip. 

Show me a funny scene.

Women visiting Boothbay Railway Village find this scene humorous

Must be something about the women working while the man takes a break. ("typical")

Show me a farm scene

Well, they might get cut up and loaded onto trucks or into boxcars like in this scene.

This was on the Country Roads model railroad HO scale modular layout.

After trees are cut down and made into logs they end up on a log truck.

This is the only Alco RS-3 locomotive I have, it was released by Atlas in June 2004.

I bought it off ebay, put DCC in it and plan to use it to pull a short passenger train.

  " width="100" height="200" />

Sorry it's not on the layout, since last year our club has been hit with a reduction of shows.

This model is now virtually impossible to find!!!

.

These are a pair of STRATTON & GILLETTE F3s in the first paint scheme the SGRR used on its freight service diesels. This was a short-lived paint scheme that was soon replaced with a simpler maroon and black.

.

.

I love EMD F units, so keep them coming. Show me an EMD F unit of any type.
